Mac SE boot question
Hi,
I recently picked up a Mac SE M5011 computer with mouse and keyboard. Everything on the system seems to work great except I cannot get it to load the System Software. When I boot from the System 6.0.8 installation disk and attempt to install the system software, the install button is greyed out. The Switch Disk button is also greyed out.
I read somewhere that Apple HD SC utility can be ran to attempt to detect hard disks, but that does not appear to be on my system disk. 😟 There is also no icon for the hard drive on my desktop. Are these telltale signs that the hard drive in this mac is damaged? The hard drive does appear to be powering as I am getting a blinking amber light from what I am guessing is the Hard drive bay (it's above the floppy drive)
If the drive is toast, what are my options for replacing it?
any help is much appreciated!! 🙂
